Aware of the increasing importance of green building in Thailand, TEAM GROUP organized a seminar on “Green building in Thailand: Why is it important and worth Investing?” at the Ballroom, at The Emerald Hotel, Bangkok last month. In his opening speech, Mr. Chawalit Chantararat, Chairman of the Executive Board of TEAM Consulting International Co., Ltd. (a member of TEAM GROUP) stated that the objectives of the seminar were to foster the public’s knowledge and understanding about green building and its trend in Thailand as well as to encourage knowledge integration for development of green building design and energy-efficient buildings. The event was honored with a special lecture on “Direction of government’s support for green building development”, by Mr. Kiatisak Chantra, Chief Engineer from the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning (DPT), which is a major agency responsible for setting up policies on city planning and building control and promoting green buildings in Thailand.
